Breaking: Eppard and Picciolo let go - Scioscia and Dipoto staying

[tdawg87]

 

Give Trout a decent raise with incentives. Not showing up to ST with a fat ass would be a good start. 

 

 

Didn't you hear? Scioscia is staying.

I really dont give a crap about grammer. This the Internet. Very few things posted do jot follow grammar.

Second I usually post on my cell phone thus I am more prone for typographical erors.

Third it is really said that the best response to my hass nothing to with the subject but proper english.

Lol

Not to be condescending but how oftem hace you competed in competitive sports? Baded on your comments I cant believe you hace much experience.

Um I played soccer, volleyball, football, baseball and golf growing up. Club teams through high school. So yes I know and have played competitive sports.

And not to be condescending either. If you've played competitive sports. A losing record whether a week into the season or a month into a season is a slow start. You hate losing as should the angels and it's fans. Not saying hey well were 10 games back two months into the season. But hey it's still early

Here we go with the strawman again

Here we go with the strawman again 

 There is no strawman in what I had said. If you have played sports losing one game or 10 games it doesn't matter its a slow start. You want to win every game you play if you have played sports. That is all I had to say. There was nothing strawman about it.

Back in the 90's the team won early and lost late, which would you prefer?  Regardless, this is really still a complete waste of an argument.  What the standings at the end of the season are is the only thing that matters.

I am not even arguing about that. I was responding to Storm, and his question if I ever played competitive sports. I would rather win early and win late.

I have played sports and no, 1 game and 10 games are not the same thing. Your argument is a strawman because you're arguing against something that isn't being stated by anyone. Of course you want to win every game, but that's ridiculous. Losing 1 game or being 1 game back early is not a slow start. 10 games back early, slow start. No one has said anything about being 10 games back after 2  months is not a slow start or "it's still early"

Teams are not always going to win.  That is the point.  That is why getting mad about when they don't play well is silly.

My comment again was in response to Storm's question to me. Not anyone else's comments during the whole thread.

I know what your comments were regarding. It's still a fallacious argument.

[fan_since79]

Getting ready for the next 33 pages.

[fan_since79]

Wouldn't you know it, I'm all out of popcorn.

[stormngt]

I don't think the news is "breaking" any more.  After 33 pages, can we move on??????

[HaloNation]

i still can't believe that mike is staying.

 

maybe arte doesn't really care about winning...

[tennischmp]

Here we go. Another 20 pages

[Mark68]

But is the WIND breaking?

[Halos of Anaheim]

So when are we going to reduce Weavers salary? He was not an ace for us this year, and that money could go to helping the bullpen and giving Trout a fair raise. IMO we should just cut him, starting pitching is the last of our worries.

I assume you're joking. He earned his money, but even if he didn't, there's no way to reduce his salary. The Angels can't even reduce Blantana's salary. Unlike the NFL, a lot of baseball players have guaranteed contracts.

[FireThemAll]

I really just think it's ridiculous that Arte Moreno is trying to mail it in next year. How in the world can Mike Butcher keep his job? This pitching staff is FINISHED. Guarantee you we will be one of the worst teams in baseball with Fatty and Butcher in the dugout

[Angel Oracle]

Fatty Lasagna....sounds like a character in Boardwalk Empire.

Lol. You must be a new baseball fan.
